With a Twist
Deidre Martin
Berkley, May 2009, $7.99
ISBN: 9780425228036
Having been raised in Paris and deciding that waitressing in Bensonhurst at her half-sister’s bistro Vivi’s is too provincial and keeping her from her dream to manage a top quality Manhattan restaurant, Natalie Bocuse quits her job. However, she finds it nearly impossible to obtain new work so with the help of her most persistent flirty customer Quinn O’Brien she accepts a waitress job at their Midtown family pub.
New York reporter Quinn has wanted Natalie since he first flirted with her in Brooklyn, but she showed no reciprocity as she sees him as an uncouth hunk. However, as Natalie dates his boss, Quinn needs to prove to her he is a man about the town even if he will earn an Oscar taking her to ballet or opera.
Deirdre Martin provides a fun contemporary restaurant romance that through the secondary characters is a direct tie to the wonderful JUST A TASTE. The story line is lighthearted and amusing as Natalie, unlike Vivi who gave up her taste of Paris for Brooklyn, feels in exile amidst the barbarians. Fans will enjoy Quinn’s efforts with the support of both their families to win the heart of the sophisticated snob he loves.
